Chapter 221 One Reward, Three Gains
Reward a piece of level-matched, tailor-made magic equipment?
The old man spoke generously, but while speaking, he secretly glanced at Gretel's badge. God bless him, he must never open his mouth like a lion...
"Consistent with the level" has two meanings: one is consistent with the mage level, that is to say, the equipment that the magician can currently use; the other is consistent with the arcane level. Usually this meaning is not a big deal, but now, it means Wearing an equipment of at least level 7 or 8.
Considering that Gretel is now a second-level mage, it is best if he can use this equipment immediately...
This also means that part of the magical power must be sealed and gradually unlocked as the magician's power grows. The difficulty of making is even higher than that of ordinary level 7 and level 8 magic items.
Grete, however, did not understand the old man's inner story at all. He pondered for a moment, took the quill pen handed over by the old man, and began to draw:
"What I want is a large disc with a diameter of 1 meter, evenly inlaid with silver rods with constant [Eternal Flame], or other light sources..."
"The inlay must be even. If possible, there should be a concave mirror behind the light source to reflect the light source in front so that the emitted light will not be wasted..."
"The number of light sources...the distance...multi-point focus in the inlay direction...This can ensure that when the entire disc is hung, there will be no shadows even if the person under the disc is operating..."
"The light color must be pure white, and the brightness of the light source must be equivalent to the brightness of the sun at noon..."
"Even if it is not a constant bright flame, it must be a cold light source and should not emit heat, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable for people standing under it..."
"It is best to adjust the brightness of the light source... and also adjust which light sources are bright and which are not bright... so that the light spot can be adjusted to the size of the mouth of a teacup, the size of a bowl, and the size of a basin to meet the needs of different occasions..."
"It's better to have a big cover outside, otherwise the blood will spurt out and it will be difficult to wipe away..."
He said everything with confidence and every detail. The old man was still smiling and listening at first, but as he listened, circles of mosquito coils began to appear in his eyes. Apparently, he had no idea what it was and what it could be used for. It wasn't until I heard "blood spurting up" that I was finally shocked:
"What are you going to build?! What are you going to use it for! Why does blood spurt out!"
"Shadowless lamp..." Grete looked at him with a matter-of-fact look. There was even a bit of accusation in his eyes, as if he was blaming the other party for making such a fuss and interrupting himself:
"It is used to perform operations on people, oh, it is to cut open people and then heal them, and in the process of dissecting animals, this thing is of great help. Otherwise, there would be shadows under the hands and under the knife, what? Can’t even see it!”
At this point, Gretel got up and simply pulled the big piece of paper and turned it around. I pulled the other corner of the paper, brushed it, and drew a schematic diagram of the light path:
"Look like this. The shadowless lamp is on top, and the hand is here - no matter how you move it, there will always be a few rays of light hitting the bottom. Isn't it very convenient? But the premise is that the direction of each light source must be subtly adjusted to achieve this. Effect……"
"Well……"
The old man rubbed his chin in thought, his eyes getting brighter as he thought about it. "It makes sense, it makes sense. Whether it is assembling a magic doll or making magic jewelry, if there is such a big light shining on it, wouldn't it mean that no matter how you work, you will not be blocked by the shadow?"
Those little needles, little hammers, and little tweezers will never poke or hit your hands again! There’s no need to beat around the bush, just put lighting in every corner!
This stuff works. The old man looked at Gretel eagerly:
"Can this design be licensed to us? Can we sell it?"
"Sell--"
Grete's thoughts were stuck on the spot. He rolled his eyes at the old man somewhat sullenly:
"Wait, I'm not done yet! There are many more requirements later! - This lamp must have a hanging arm on it, which can adjust the height, rotate horizontally, vertically, and 360 degrees, and then maintain a fixed position;
The hanging arm is supported on the base and cannot fall down top-heavy;
It is best to have wheels under the base so that it can be dragged around;
correct! The entire base, suspension arm and headlight must be easily disinfected! It has to be made of metal! Smooth surface! I'll give you a bucket of liquid later and pour it on. The metal cannot be corroded! "
The old man was about to collapse. As an alchemist, he has seen many strange requests along the way, but there are not many that are so troublesome. Just this 360-degree suspended arm... It's so troublesome. Let me think about it, who is good at designing this kind of thing...
"This thing is so troublesome... Constant magic is not difficult, but these strange requirements... Even if you don't need a magician, you still have to hire a master craftsman, which is very expensive..."
Gretel gave him a sad look. It’s just a shadowless lamp, and his requirements are not high. It’s just the most common operating room shadowless lamp! In my previous life, they were all sold on Taobao for a few thousand yuan, and installation was included...
Single-headed, double-headed, petal-shaped, single-reflective, porous and multi-focus, halogen light source, LED light source, you can choose.
Wow, the strong industrial strength in the previous life really reduced the cost of industrial products to a very pleasant level...
But no matter what, after weighing it, the old man accepted the customization task and negotiated the authorization with Gretel. In view of the fact that the technical content of shadowless lamps is not high and the application scenarios are limited, Grete only needs a 15% commission on the sales amount and a sample. After the conversation, both parties looked at each other and were stunned at the same time:
"That... the magic equipment I promised you... seems to have to be reconsidered?"
"yes!"
Gretel scratched his head. The old man scratched his beard. In the corner of the conference room, a series of strange laughter "gu" and "gu" came out, but it was Aurora Wharton covering her mouth with her hands, squatting at the table, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten up...
Gretel poked the quill in annoyance. With a click, the quill pen's barrel snapped and broke into two pieces on the spot. Gretel was so angry that he threw the pen away:
"I'm so annoyed! This quill pen doesn't work at all! - Hey, can I order a pencil from you?"
"Pencil?...What is that? Use lead to write? Lead can't write!"
What? Even the Magic Council doesn’t have pencils? Grete was resentful. That time-traveling senior, how poor is your science knowledge? You can't even draw a pencil? You promised that time travelers would change the world, but you only made KPI assessments?
"Pencils... are made by mixing graphite powder and clay to make the shape of a pen core, and then firing it in a fire to harden it. Then it can be used for writing...
By the way, in order to make it easier to use, it is best to use cork to make a pen holder, cut a semicircular groove on each side, and clamp the pen core inside and stick it!
After using up the front section, you can shorten the pen barrel and continue using it..."
Gretby gestured. The old man continued to ask questions, and he began to talk about him again and again, and kept evading:
"The ratio of graphite powder to clay? I don't know!
How hot is the fire? How long does it take to burn? have no idea!
What kind of softwood to use? Hmm... It seems to be birch? Or basswood? Anyway, just try one thing at a time, just use wood that can be cut with a knife! "
The old man's face turned dark and dark. He questioned him again and again, making sure that he could extract no other information from Gretel, and finally pretended to be angry and slammed the table:
"You only have an idea and no specific formula. It's impossible to give you a high commission! Such a simple thing! Even a fool can do it!"
Gretel stared at him silently. fool? Are you trying to say that even Muggles can do it?
All in all, in short, the pencil authorization negotiated a particularly low share - 1 copper coin per pencil. In addition, Grete is supplied with 100 pencils per month, as well as a pencil sharpener for sharpening pencils.
By the way, the pencil sharpener with the tapered blade and the square box outside was also drawn by Gretel himself, and he used [Magic Trick] to temporarily shape it...
"So think of another magic equipment! It can be anything, offensive, defensive, mobile... just don't think of another one that can be sold!"
Emma, I'm so tired! He is a level 15 archmage! Discuss business with children in person!
If it weren't for the fact that what Grete took out was actually interesting, with more than one legendary mage standing looming behind him, what would he be like! Talking about business is usually handled by his students, his students' students!
Grete smiled sheepishly. He took inventory of the equipment on hand:
"Then... I don't lack anything for the time being... However, I have a follower who damaged his weapon when we fought against the Lord of Glory Church. Can you help me repair it?"
"It's a small matter! It's settled!"
The old man agreed without thinking. The war with the Lord of Glory Church started in September last year. Gretel was still a level 1 magician, a level 1 magician, and he was still in a small place in the countryside. How could he have any followers? It's just a level 5 knight at best. A level 5 knight's weapon doesn't even cost much to make, let alone repair it!
He generously took out a badge:
"Take it, go to the mission hall on the first floor, and hand it over together with the weapons to be repaired. Naturally, someone from the Alchemy Guild will be responsible for repairing it, so just remember to pick it up when the time comes!"
Grete thanked him. He couldn't even wait for the next day. He went down to Igor Peak at noon that day, led Bernard to the top of the peak again, and went straight to the auxiliary tower of the School of Change...
In the evening of the same day, the person in charge of the weapons manufacturing branch of the Alchemy Guild led a small car, dragging the big bone stick in the car, and rushed into the workshop area where the old man was.
"Look at what job you gave us! What job! The North Glacier Barbarian, the special weapon of the mid-level berserker! The skeleton of an ancient alien beast, with the beast soul sealed inside. Now the body is shattered and the beast soul is injured. !
What can I do to mend that bone? How many gold wires are tied up? And what about the beast soul? How to raise the beast soul back? Looking for help from Black Crow Swamp? You should go catch one for me! "
The old man looked extremely ugly. He looked at the big bone stick, then looked at the badge he had given, and finally remembered that it was a reward for Gretel - it was over. I thought it could be done with 1,000 contribution points, but now it seems that 5,000 contribution points are all in vain. Can't live...
Someone must bear this loss!
In a rage, the old man copied two papers on microscopy and went straight to the office of the magic review department next door, the mage in charge of the prophecy school:
"Old ghost! Get out of here! Who told you to comment on such a good paper!!!"
